No, Venus has no moons. Either none were formed during its history as a planet, or any that may have been formed could have been pulled from orbit by the gravity of the Sun and other planets. Mercury, even closer to the Sun, also has no moons. Any moon in too close an orbit could be destroyed b…y tidal forces (the Roche Limit). The tidal forces on a Venusian moon would differ from those on Earth's Moon. Rotationally speaking, Venus is practically standing still, and would exert a slowing force on any moons, no matter which direction they orbited in. (MORE)

Virtually the same as the distance between Earth and Venus, which varies greatly according to where each is in its orbit. At its closest to Earth, Venus is still more than 100 times as far from Earth as the Moon.

Approximately 161,761,143 miles (about 260,329,324 kilometres) Comments: Obviously, the distance is very similar to that between Venus and Earth. That distance varies as the planets move in their orbits. So, it's changing all the time. The minimum distance is about 25 million miles.

A Venus day (spin) is 1.08 times as long as a Venus year. The very slow rotational day of Venus is 243 Earth days long, while its year (one orbit of the Sun) is only about 225 Earth days. Combined with the retrograde direction of its spin, this produces a "solar day" (sunrise to sunrise) of about …116.75 Earth days. So in terms of rotation, there is only 0.925 days in a Venus year. In terms of daylight experienced on the surface, there are 1.92 Venus days per Venus year. (MORE)

no.Venus has no moons whats so ever.If venus had moons, then the planet would be much cooler because the moon would be blocking venus from the sun, but venus is above 5000 degrees so it has no moons.Hope this helps.

Just about as far as it is from Earth. Please note that the distance from Earth to Moon is quite insignificant compared with the distances to the Sun, or to other planets. So, how far is Venus from Earth? Unfortunately there's no fixed answer because the distance is always changing, as the planets m…ove in their orbits. (MORE)

At different times the various planets look to be near the moon. So sometimes when you see something very bright near the moon, it is a planet. The four main planets that look bright are Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn, so when you see something near the moon, it is one of those four. You can use lo…ts of different websites which will tell you what is in the sky at the moment and what looks to be near the moon. One of those websites is in the link below. (MORE)

You know how the moon rotates around the Earth, and has phases because of the suns rays hitting its crust? Its the same with Venus. You know that Venus revolves around the sun, right? But did you know that it also has phases? Its true. Anyway, Venus's phases are just like the moons. I don't know why… Venus has phases, but I sure do know how. ;) . (MORE)

There are no moons around Venus or Mercury. So the closest moon to Venus is the Moon orbiting the Earth, which is not really any closer than Earth is. (Venus is always at least 100 times farther away from Earth than the distance of the Moon.)

There are no moons in orbit around Venus. It might help you to know there are also no moons orbiting Mercury either. Earth has only one moon, and all the other planets in our solar system have multiple moons. Even the dwarf planet Pluto has three moons.

Earth would probably be a double-planet similar to the Dwarf Planet Pluto and its moon Charon. Orbiting a barycenter outside the center of the planet itself. This would be interesting because this is an unusual getup for a planet.

No. In the Solar system, Venus and Mercury do not have any natural satellites. All the other planets do. With dwarf planets, we're less certain; we know for sure that Eris, Pluto, Orcus, and Quaoar definitely do. Probable dwarf planet Salacia also has a natural satellite. Outside the Solar Sys…tem, we don't know if any planets have satellites or not; it's just barely possible to detect the planets in the first place (and we've never been able to detect one the size of Earth or smaller).

No Venus is a planet, much like our Earth, because it orbits the Sun. A moon is a large body that orbits a planet. Venus is closer to the Sun than the Earth, the second planet from the Sun. The Earth is the third planet from the Sun.

The sun. The moon orbits the earth and is our nearest space object - sometimes it passes between us and the sun, this is called a lunar eclipse. Venus orbits the sun. It is nearer the sun than us, so very occasionally it passes between us and the sun. This is called the transit of Venus.

It depends on where Venus is in its orbit relative to Earth. At itsclosest, Venus is closer to Earth and the moon than it is to thesun. The distance between Venus and the sun does not changesignificantly, but its distance to Earth does; at times it may bedirectly between Earth and the sun, while at …other times it may beon the other side of the sun.

There is a theory by Thomas Van Flandern (1940-2009) that hadlittle support from mainstream astronomy. The model for Mercury,which has phases and a western evening and eastern deep nightversion like Venus, both planets being inferior (having orbitsbetween Earth and the Sun), as an ex-moon of Venus i…s largely basedon calculations done by Van Flandern and Harrington (1976) and goesas follows (Van Flandern, 1999): As Mercury tidally drifted outward it necessarily producedrotational drag on Venus, and it raised even bigger tides on theVenusian atmosphere causing it to circulate in retrogradedirection. After billions of years this might impart retrogrademotion on the whole planet. Tides caused on Venus by Mercury while the latter was stillspinning rapidly would have caused great interior heating andoutgassing, and probably a great deal of surface upheaval (mountainbuilding), too, causing the very dense atmosphere, the massiverelease of carbonate in the rocks as CO2 into the atmosphere, andthe very high mountains. Mercury is massive enough to have takenmuch of Venus's spin in the 1st half-billion years after formationand Venus's orbit is close enough to the Sun that complete escapeoccurs. The interchange of energy between Venus and Mercury wouldhave been enormous, given Mercury's large mass (4 1/2 times moremassive than the Moon). Most of the iron (which eventually produces the magnetic field) inVenus would have been forced up into the crust by an excessivelyhigh spin rate, with Mercury getting most of the iron duringfissioning, which would explain why Mercury has a stronger magneticfield than Venus. By contrast, the Earth's iron was not forced tothe surface, perhaps because the Earth was not as hot and molten asVenus during that phase of its formation. During its lunar phase Mercury would have acquired a prolate shape(somewhat elongated towards Venus) because of tidal forces. Bothplanets would have been melted by tidal heating in the early stagesfollowing escape. If this occured before Venus differentiated, itmight have caused Mercury's high density and stronger magneticfield. Subsequently, both planets would have melted from mutualtidal heating. After escape, Mercury acquired greater tilt and eccentricity, andVenus would have lost more of its spin. Its prolate shape wouldhave been reduced after escape but still maintained. At the pointof escape Mercury would have had a period of revolution of about 40days, and would have retained its spin period, which would also be40 days since it was locked with Venus. But tides raised by the Sunwould slow down its spin to its present 60 days, which gives it a3-2 spin-revolution ratio (3 spins per 2 revolutions, in otherwords, its rotational period is 2/3 its period of revolution, whichis 88 days), because the next stable configuration for such a body(Mercury mass and diameter and degree of prolateness) is thisratio, so it is a predicted outcome of its having been a moon ofVenus. This model, then, explains all the anomalies of both Venus andMercury. * Venus' retrograde rotation is alternately explained by havingbeen tilted upside down by a collision (as probably happened toUranus, which is extremely tilted), or having had its rotationreversed by a similar massive collision at a tangent to its orbit. M.M. Woolfson proposed Mercury was the moon of a giant planet thatcollided with another one. (MORE)

One possibility is that they are too close to the sun, so that thesun's gravity would disrupt the orbit of any would-be moon. Orperhaps Mercury and Venus never experienced any events that wouldlead to the formation of moons with stable orbits.
